The oligarch propaganda machine is preparing to shift into high gear. Larry’s son bought CBS and is slated to install Bari Weiss as their news boss. Saw a headline about him also eyeing a purchase of CNN. Keep all of this in mind in the months and years to come when you see material from these sources.

Frankly at this point I think I would rather have China have control over the data and algorithm than Oracle and Andreessen Horowitz.

Ars Technica’s comment section is getting radicalized.

Holy fucking depravity…

No state recognition from Merz.

Verified here wirh “us states with letter d”

0 4   *   *   *    /usr/sbin/reboot

Adjust interval as needed.

Or if you want something a bit faster and less disruptive:

#!/bin/sh

NAME="$0"

logger_cmd () {
  echo $@
  logger -p daemon.info -t "$NAME[$$]" $@
}

if ! which ncat 1>/dev/null
then
  logger_cmd "ncat not found, installing..."
  opkg update && opkg install ncat
fi

chk_conn () {
  echo "Checking connectivity to $@"
  if ncat --send-only --recv-only -w 334ms $@ 2>/dev/null; then
    return 0
  fi

  logger_cmd "Cannot reach $@"
  return 1
}

restart_network_iface() {
    # TODO: Don't restart every minute

    COOLDOWN_LOCK=/tmp/internet-connectivity-watchcat.tmp
    COOLDOWN_SECONDS=300

    cooldown_time_end=$(cat $COOLDOWN_LOCK || echo 0)

    time_now="$(cat /proc/uptime)"
    time_now="${time_now%%.*}"

    cooldown_time_left=$((cooldown_time_end - time_now))

    if [ "$cooldown_time_left" -lt "1" ]
    then
        logger_cmd "Restarting network interface: \"$1\"."
        ifdown "$1"
        ifup "$1"

        cooldown_time_end=$((time_now + COOLDOWN_SECONDS))
        echo $cooldown_time_end > $COOLDOWN_LOCK
    else
        logger_cmd "Skipping interface \"$1\" restart due to cooldown. Cooldown left: $cooldown_time_left seconds"
    fi
}


logger_cmd "Checking internet connectivity..."

if   chk_conn google.com 443 \
  || chk_conn amazon.com 443 \
  || chk_conn facebook.com 443 \
  || chk_conn cloudflare.com 443 \
  || chk_conn telekom.de 443
then
  logger_cmd "Connected to internet."
else
  logger_cmd  "Not connected to internet."
  restart_network_iface "$1"
fi

In restart_network_iface use /usr/sbin/reboot instead of interface up/down and run the script every few minutes via cron or systemd timer. This was written for OpenWrt so if you use that you can use it as-is. For other systems you’d also have to adjust the logger_cmd.

You can place that on another machine and send a signal to a smart plug instead if you’re worried of a locked up / frozen router. That said if your router freezes like that, you should probably change it and you should be able to run this script on it.

Yeah I don’t understand what China’s doing here. There’s probably a reason, like perhaps the fear of US military retaliation in Cuba, should the sanctions appear completely ineffective. Does anyone know why China’s holding its dick instead of helping Cubans?

A socialist state with a decent standard of living within 80 miles of the US cannot be allowed to exist for the same reason as why the oligarch class is throwing everything at Zohran. The only real threat to the their wealth is the 99% organizing to take (some of) it. You can probably see what effect any successful examples of redistribution could have on this prospect. The owner class have worked relentlessly to stamp out most of these ideas. Now that foreign sources of profit are looking uncertain and exploitation is turning inwards, it’s even more important for Americans to be kept away from such thoughts.

“weapons have been used, and operations are underway to locate the downed targets”

They have.

Are these monarchy restoration protests?

I’d imagine they could have a few spread out boats further and further behind, each with its own cell hotspot, beaming WiFi all around, so that they have to be jammed simultaneously to stop the livestreams from capturing the attacks.

Yeah, that’s curious. I’d think they’d be prepared with Signal at the very least and some backup self-hosted channel, as well as cameras and backup cell hotspots.

Yeah, it’s a very well done vid that mom and pop can understand.

For a time, until aggregate demand craters and the economy enters a depression.

It’s nice to see that Hinton isn’t playing apolitical.

Yeah, you might be right. I don’t have enough detailed knowledge and your argument makes sense.

You forgot poorer people who can’t otherwise afford higher education.

That’s the worst part. There’s no easy way to figure it out.

Yes it will.

This is how this fucking system works.

This article makes no sense in supporting the thesis.
